Transcript¹

A century ago, only 6% of the Scottish Highlands were covered in trees. Among other things, the government ordered more native tree species planted. A U.K. paper reports that now 18% is forested land.

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

马丁内斯，主持人：

Good morning. I'm A Martinez. A century ago, Scotland had a problem. After generations of deforestation, only 6% of the Highlands were covered in trees. So the government decided² to turn over a new leaf by planting more native plant species and managing woodlands more sustainably. So far, it's working. The U.K. paper The Statesman says 18% of Scotland is now forested land, a level not seen in nearly a thousand years. Seems like branching out really got them to the root of the problem. It's still MORNING EDITION.

早上好我是马丁内斯。一个世纪前，苏格兰出现了一个问题。经过几代人的砍伐，只有6%的高地被树木覆盖。因此，政府决定改弦更张，种植更多的本土植物，以更可持续的方式管理林地。到目前为止，它正在发挥作用。英国报纸《政治家》（The Statesman）表示，苏格兰18%的土地现在是林地，这是近千年来的最高水平。似乎分支机构真的让他们找到了问题的根源。它仍然是早上的版本。
